Car Bomb is a progressive metal group from Long Island, NY that was initially formed in 2000. Their debut album, Centralia, was released through Relapse Records on February 6, 2007. The band’s most recent release was a limited edition “split” 7″ with Burnt By The Sun on Relapse. Car Bomb’s style is marked by a highly experimental and extremely aggressive approach to metal. The music and riffs follow a very discordant style; chords and scales are not of the conventional variety, and have an almost random playing feel (as demonstrated in ‘Hypnotic Worm’). The band cite their style is influenced by Meshuggah, Dillinger Escape Plan, Autechre, Coalesce, The Locust, Naked City, Metallica, Pantera, Slayer, Frank Zappa, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Vinnie Colaiuta, Allan Holdsworth, and anything Dave Witte has played on.
